Aerial Yoga: Using the aerial hammock as a tool, we will explore your practice from different perspectives. Together we will float, hang, invert, climb, flow, and above all, experience our mind, body and breath. This is will be an all levels class. Meet this practice with humility and an open heart. This class will be equals parts opening and strengthening. (Nicole Hays)
Aerial Yoga Nidra: Yoga nidra is conscious relaxation intended to induce total relaxation: physically, mentally and emotionally. This is a highly guided practice, as we float weightlessly in our hammocks. The mind will remain conscious while your body dives into a deep-sleep like state. Together we will travel into ourselves layer by layer. Let’s create a bridge between our conscious awareness and our subconscious mind.

This class is a traditional structured yoga class focusing on balancing the duality of the mind and body through breathwork (Pranayama), physical practice (Asana), and (sometimes) chanting with intention. Stretch and strengthen your body, deepen your breath and end your day with intention and awareness. The goal is emphasizing the importance of listening to your body, your inner teacher, your true self.

Farm Tour: Farm owner Pete Cashel will take you on a hay ride around parts of the 400-acre farm, discussing the area's history, geology, wildlife, ecological improvements Pete and Brenda have made on the farm, and their plans for the future. This is a great opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the land you'll be calling "home" for the next couple days!
Functional Anatomy: What if I told you your body is perfect? What happens when what we feel in poses is more important than how we look? Have your mind blown and never see poses the same way again in 75 minutes or less. Using both anatomical models and living breathing examples drawn from our group, feel empowered to move beyond aesthetic concerns and toward a Functional Approach. Far from complicating our practice and teaching, the Functional Approach is elegantly simple, and will forever change your view of Yoga. Learn to discriminate between what we can change and what just is, and embrace the realities of skeletal variation to free you from goal-oriented yoga.
Heart Centered Yoga Flow:
Intuitive Movement:
Japa Mantra Meditation:
Kirtan/Puja: Kirtan is one of the core practices of Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of love and devotion. Sanskrit mantras are chanted and sung, often in a call and response style, and accompanied by the harmonium, drums, and sometimes other instruments. Songs range from soft and meditative to upbeat and blissful. These beautiful, repetitive mantras help to clear and calm the mind, uplift the spirit, and awaken and open the heart. Kirtan is meant to be a participatory musical experience, though no musical experience is required to participate! Guests are also welcome to just come and listen. Bring your voice, and/or maybe even an instrument if you like, or just come to offer your presence and listen to the beautiful music!
Kundalini: ~Awaken Your Spirit with Kundalini Yoga~ Kundalini is known as the yoga of awareness. It increases energy, vitality, love and connectedness by moving energy up the spine. Kundalini means “coiled serpent”, and it is the name of the Shakti energy lying coiled in your root chakra. We'll use dynamic movement, mantra, and pranayama to open this energy pathway by releasing tension in your body.
Mindful Drumming: The Mindful Drum Workshop is a space for drumming that entrains ones brain to be in the present moment. In this workshop, participants will learn how to focus their mind in the present moment by drumming rhythms that connect to their heart center. Through intention setting, breathing, and drumming, participants will use their natural rhythm intuition to achieve a higher state of awareness which will result in oneness, increased brain activity, improved immune system function, enhanced mood, lower stress, happiness, and increased energy. (Michelle Lewis)

Time, as our society teaches us, is not money; Time is Art and each moment is ours to create- exactly as our heart desires. Informative & inspiring, this class helps you gain a new perspective on life that will continuously reveal itself thru the magic, grace, & synchronicity of natural time. (Susan Schroeder)

Sound Bath Stillness & Centering: Tibetan, crystal singing bowls, and gongs are used to facilitate a shift in the brainwave state. Through frequency and entrainment with sound it's possible, and very easy, to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), with the majority of people able to reach theta (meditative state) and even delta (where internal healing can occur). Sound waves can reduce blood pressure as well as enhance sleep and memory. Studies show these sounds can reduce anxiety and enhance mood states. If you are new to a meditation practice the sound bath experience can help you sink to a deeper place making it easier to arrive in a relaxed state without complicating how to get there. urrender yourself to the sound current. Answer a calling to clear your field, listen deeply and connect with you true authentic self. Allowing expansion and energy to flow through your body as you enter the serene depths of your being from which intuitive knowledge flows. Your sound bath will begin with breath/ body awareness as you lay back and let the celestial sounds wash over you. Class will be one hour long. Wear comfortable clothing and bring any items that bring you comfort. Please bring a pen and journal to write down any insights after your sound immersion. See you in the alpha state and beyond!
